Inter Milan are set to offer Samir Nasri a dream escape route from Manchester City this summer after sounding him out as their top transfer target.

Nasri, who joined City from Arsenal in a £25million deal in 2011, is on the fringes of life at the Etihad after a number of fall outs with manager Roberto Mancini, and Inter reportedly want to offer him a way out.

It’s thought that the Serie A club see Nasri as a potential successor to Wesley Sneijder, and would be prepared to offer City up to £20million to take him off their hands.

The 25-year-old is currently considering his future after a being publically attacked in the press by boss Mancini, who branded Nasri ‘half the player he was last season’, and questioned his attitude and commitment.

Nasri has scored just one Premier League goal this season, but his stock remains high on the continent, and Inter will face competition from PSG, according to Italian site Libero.

The France international has a contract with City until 2015, and if Inter cannot agree terms on a transfer, a season-long loan could be an option to try and rejuvenate his fortunes.
